Recent releases


Changes: New features include replay gain, WMA support in firmware, Unicode on the display, random mixes, various artists, wake-on-LAN, and firmware 24. Skin updates were done. A server setting was added to MusicMagic to restrict mixes to a given filter. The performance of searching was improved. The Browse Music Folder functionality was rewritten. A new iTunes plugin and other plugins were added.


Changes: A 'Browse By Artwork' facility was added and a number of Internet Radio bugs were fixed. The types.conf and convert.conf files can now be customized by the user. The audio output levels were tuned to optimize headphone performance. A problem with cue file parsing and an issue where 'Disk 1 of 1' was stated unnecessarily was fixed. The debugging output now distinguishes between when a squeezebox disconnects and when an HTTP client disconnects.


Changes: This version fixes a couple of problems where some streaming radio stations wouldn't work, and a problem where the SlimServer Web interface would be really really slow. It suppresses a warning on tracks that have a disk number but not a size of set tag, fixes a bug where the current time isn't displayed properly for transcoded files, updates the Fishbone skin, fixes up FLAC support, adds slimserver.strings.txt support, fixes a confusing warning when doing Squeezebox firmware updates, fixes a typo where ID3v1 tags would include a genre called "bebob", and adds back missing TIme::HiRes libraries.


Changes: A huge number of new features and bugfixes.
